Clearly, there are issues with the current model. I now feel that posts should be editable for 48 to 72 hours to allow the poster to correct errors, add content, delete his post etc. That should be ample time for those purposes. After that, the post should be considered part of the RC.com archive.

Curt

if users own/retain copyright on the intellectual content of their posts, as per the current terms of use, they should have the ability to edit and delete them indefinitely.

to do otherwise would require that the terms of use be changed.

and for good measure, edited to add;

ESPECIALLY in a case like adatesman, where he spent a shitload of time and actual real money to generate data and thoughtful analyses, and the intellectual rights to that work should actually mean something. this website continuing to use that information to generate page views is profiting off of his work without his consent.
